The 2012 Wisconsin lieutenant gubernatorial recall election was a special election to elect the lieutenant governor of Wisconsin. It resulted in voters retaining incumbent Republican lieutenant governor Rebecca Kleefisch over the Democratic candidate Mahlon Mitchell. Kleefisch's retention made her the first lieutenant governor in U.S. history to run in and survive a recall.[1] Primary elections took place on May 8, 2012.[2]
